Equipment
- Chef's Knife
Ingredients
- 4 large soft rolls
- 1 wedge brie at room temperature
- 1 cucumber wash and thinly slice
- 1 small onion thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
- 2 large cloves garlic smashed and finely minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine the ingredients for the garlic butter and set aside until ready to use. If storing it in the fridge, let it soften at room temperature before using it.
- Spread the bottom half of each roll with a generous amount of garlic butter and the top halves with mayonnaise. Layer the sandwiches with cucumber, brie, and onion and place the top half of the sandwich on top.
- If making hors d'oeuvres with the sandwich rounds, use one slice of cucumber, and you can secure the sandwiches by sticking a toothpick down the center.
Notes
- Storage: Store any leftover sandwiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. The brie may harden, so it’s best to eat them fresh.
- Freezing: While I don’t recommend freezing the assembled sandwiches, you can freeze the garlic butter for future use. Just thaw it at room temperature before applying.
- Pairing: Consider serving the French Connection Sandwich with a side salad or some crispy chips to balance out the richness.
- Make-ahead: You can prepare the garlic butter a day ahead and store it in the fridge. Just remember to bring it back to room temperature before spreading.
- Variations: Feel free to switch up the cucumber with other fresh vegetables like spinach or arugula for a different crunch.
